Summary

Microservices offer six major benefits: increased agility, organizational scale, development efficiency, cost-efficient scaling, faster onboarding, and attracting more talented engineers. However, adopting microservices is not a fit for everyone, particularly small engineering teams that may struggle with the initial changes required to implement this architecture. Adopting microservices yields significant benefits, including cultural shifts, deployment infrastructure automation, and developer infrastructure needs. The transition requires new investment and triggers changes, but companies thriving in the new world order have technology as a core competency and are adopting microservices to stay competitive. With the right tools and infrastructure, companies can achieve agility, efficiency, onboarding, and recruiting benefits while driving growth and innovation.
